How To Begin
Report
Before beginning the approval process for weight loss surgery, it is important to discuss your decision with your loved ones. Make sure that the people close to you know that you are serious about your decision to undergo weight loss surgery and that you need their support.
If it is difficult to find supportive people in your life, it can be helpful to speak with a therapist, since they can help you with problem-solving strategies, including dealing with interpersonal problems.During the approval process for surgery, you will need to have an evaluation of your mental health, so having a relationship with a therapist before you begin the approval process for surgery can be advantageous.

Understanding Obesity
Report
America currently has an obesity epidemic. Obesity is now considered the number one threat to public health in the United States. Over two-thirds of adults over the age of 20 in the U.S. are considered overweight, and over one-third of Americans are obese. Of these, more than 13 million Americans are more than 100 pounds overweight, or severely obese.
What is BMI
Report
BMI stands for Body Mass Index, and is calculated by taking into consideration an individual's weight AND height. It is a measurement of a person's weight relative to their height. Because of differences in size and body composition, using only someone's weight is not the most accurate way to determine whether they need weight loss surgery.
Am I a Candidate
Report
If you have problems and are seeking the most effective way to lose weight long-term, then a bariatric surgery such as the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, or Lap-Band may be for you. If you have undergone a previous weight-loss surgery and have developed complications or weight regain, then revisional surgery may be for you.
